!AWJan95/Goodies/Event/!EvntShell/HelpText
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

The following is a sample of the help text that I would like to be included somewhere in the documentation of any program that is distributed using the EvntShell library. This is partly because I would like to know what is being written or distributed, partly because I hope that more people will be encouraged to use the library, and partly because Risc User (whose heap manager routines are used heavily by the library) require a mention as well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This program has been written using the routines supplied with the EvntShell library which is copyright Paul Hobbs. The library routines may be distributed subject to the following conditions: You have permission to use any part or the whole library in any Public Domain/ShareWare project ONCE YOUR COPY HAS BEEN REGISTERED, as long as I am fully credited (via the inclusion of this file in the program documentation). If you wish to use these routines in a program that is for sale (for however much and for whatever reasons) or released as copyright material then my express permission in writing must be obtained. I maintain copyright on all the material supplied and reserve the right to amend these conditions in cases where I deem misuse. The library code is supplied free of charge to everyone 'as is'. There is no guarantee that it is free from bugs and no warranty is given about its suitability for use. Further details about EvntShell may be obtained from the author: Paul Hobbs Rheinpfalzstrasse 2 85049 Ingolstadt Germany The heap manager routines used by EvntShell are copyright Risc User and are used with permission. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
